Samsung today has announced the highest capacity microSD memory cards yet, with a full 8 gigabytes of storage.

Samsung 8GB microSD cards

The high speed memory cards can store up to 2,000 typical MP3 tracks, 5 DVD quality movies, or 4,000 digital photos. The tiny microSD format is designed for use in mobile phones, PDAs, compact digital cameras and camcorders.

It’s amazing how far storage technology and miniaturization has taken us in recent years. Just a few years back, it would have taken 6,000 floppy disks to store the amount of data that is stored on these fingernail sized memory cards.
